Course Map Furano Ski Hill

This is a map of the Furano Ski hill. The right-hand side is the "kitanomine side", it is very close to town, I have walked up this side to go boarding. At the bottom of the other side is the Prince Hotel, so we call this the "Prince side". There are, of course, crossover courses from one side to the other. From kitanomine you ski down to a single rider (hitori-nori which rhymes is the Japanese for single rider) lift which takes you across. Retuning from the Prince side is a bit more tricky, at least for us snowboarders. There is a long narrow path across, but large portions of it are pretty flat (or at times slope upwards) so it is just about impossible to make it across with out removing your binding to push. Even the skiers complain about the crossing.
